Tourism Industry
- The impact of COVID-19 can be felt throughout the entire tourism ecosystem as tourism is a significant part of many national economies.
- The tourism sector, on average, contributes 4.4% of GDP and 21.5% of service exports in OECD countries.
- Tourism directly contributes 6.9% of employment on average in OECD countries.
- Estimates from the OECD suggest a 60% decline in international tourism in 2020, rising to 80% if recovery is delayed until December.
- Domestic tourism, which accounts for 75% of the tourism economy in OECD countries, has also been impacted by quarantine measures. However, it is expected to recover more quickly than international tourism and offers the chance to drive recovery in countries where the tourism sector supports many jobs and businesses.
